SUBJECTS FOR LEGISLATION.

The legislature of Texas will meet
at Austin on Tuesday next. From the
list Of names published and personal
acquaintance with n large number of
the members, the HERALD regards 1t
as fair Legislative body, comprising
some of the ablest and truest Of our
practical and experienced public men.
They will have some important ques-
tons before them, and few intricate
political problems will consume much
of their time and be the subject of
earnest, and possibly, at times, heated
debate. First in Importance, probably,
is the land que stion; then the peniten-
.iary reforms, and reformatory for
youthful offenders Public roads is
perhaps one of the most unappreci-
atcd. yet most needed and most i'm
portant subjects which will claim their
attention. There will, of course, be
the usual disposition to tinker with
the railways. Texas yet awhile needs
all the railroads it can induce by fair
treatment. Consider for moment
what would be the terif' on freight'
were there but one or two roads into
the State, as compared with that paid
with a dozen. Notwithstanding the
pools, freights are reasonable, and the
State and people more benefited by
the prosperity incident to unrestricted
railroad building than oppressed by
such freight rates as prevail here.
Commerce will regulate itself in the
transportation as we'll as the sale of
goods. When one merchant has n
monopoly Of the trade he is apt to ex-
tortion; where there are two or more,
prices will be reasonable, though
they may pool against ruin
Gus competition. A fair profit
should be made OH everything.
And last, but not by any means
least, the great moral question of pro-
hibition will deserve and, if the HER
AID mistakes not, receive careful and
favorable consideration in the sub
mission to vote of the people, as they
request, on n prohibitory con-
stitutional amendment. Prohibi-
ton is growing question; the
interest in its discussion, the zeal Of
its advocates and the numerical!
strength of its adherents is growing
apace or even faster than the evil of
intemperance or the organization of
its army. And the time has about
come in the history of Texas when the
number of its citizens who ask the
submission of the question, and their
character and claims for consideration,
are all sufficient TO merit and justly |
receive from their representatives a
compliance with their petition.
Whatever may be the views of the
HERALD, or any individual, on the
adoption of the amendment when sub
certainly there is no reason
able man who would now strenuously
oppose the submission of the question
TO vote of the people. If the people
of Texas want prohibition they can
adopt il; if they are opposed to it they
can defeat it, and the question will
then be settled for another term of
years. Its Difference another year or
two will prolong the discussion and
strengthen the temperance cause.

THE Nayasota Tablet is clever and
entcrprising paper; but it certainly
does not know George Clark. The
Tablet says: :
Hon. George Clark occupies the
same attitude towards Gov. Ross that
Col. Lamont does to President Clevc-
land. In other words, Col. Clark is
the governors right hand bower, and
we can hardly divine how he can be
omitted from the coming administra-
ton.
Judge Clark was young when he
filed the position Of attorney general
as ably as il las ever been filled in
Texas; and now, with years of expert
encc added to the abilities which made
him prominent then, he would hardly
think of accepting any position with
in the gilt OF his friend. Gen
Ross. Thc"rablet evidently intended
to pay Judge Clark compliment. but

comnared 10 Private Secretary la
mont than day 10 night. lie is the

next time Texas selects Waco man
for governor, George Clark is apt TO
be thc.man. But ihe funny feature of
this suggestion l. that the Examiner
explains TO the Tablet that "Clark is a
Waco man, don't you see, and would
not embarrass Gov. Ross by urging
his own claimsw These words seem
TO imply that this is the reason, too,
that a certain editor is not TO be secre-
tary Of state. 4IEFI.

SOME of the papers, notably the
Waco Examiner and the Texarkana
Times, seem to be afraid the governor
is being annoyed by newspaper "ad-
vice. The newly elected governor is
not more the subject for these kindly
expressions than other governors aud
legislatures. Then, Gen. Ross is not
the man to scorn the friendly interest
of the papers in himself and State
affairs, since his election more than
before. The people have a right 10
discuss men and measures, and the
press, TO say the least of il, is a part of
the body polite, and the HERALD be-
lieves that no one more than Gen. Ross
appreciates this.

THE ANARCHISTS.

A Chicago paper last night published
dispatch reporting rumor to the ef-
feet that the decision in the case of the
Chicago Anarchists had been over ruled
and that they were to be given new
trial by the Supreme Court of the State
of Illinois. Fortunately, however, the
rumor could not be traced to reliable
source and there is reason to believe that
it is false. Everyone who remembers
the particulars of the dog-doings of these
men, as brought out at the trial, is satis-
fed of their guilt, and the country
is already impatient TO see
the just judgment executed. A
delay of the execution means more
trouble from this class OF men, not only
in Chicago, but in every large city in the
country. But, let the example be set by
hanging those now condemned and it
will be a long time before there is 8
repetition of their doings. The Anar-
chist is a coward, if he were not he could
not be an Anarchist, and he shrinks
from death as he does from water. Then,
let him once see that the wages of his
outrageous crimes is death, and he will
come nearer to being good citizen than
he has ever been before.

EJAKEY" SHARP.

The history of Boodler Jake Sharp is
one of the best illustrations yet given to
the world of the result of greed, char
acteristic always to be condemned, and
especially so when it is accompanied by
a loose conscience. Two years ago Sharp
was living in New York in the enjoyment
of an immense fortune, and, so far as he
was known, respected and reputable
man. He had ten times the money that he
could use during his life time, and yet he
chose 10 enter into the scheme which will
bring him TO prison or to his grave. His
Doodle operations leave disgraced
the homes of nearly dozen
of New York's reputable citizens
and have brought him into a mire from
which he can never be drawn alive, and
the mud of which will cling to his pro-

4 SHALLOW PRETENSf.

The Mormon Statehood cry is like the
defendant in damage suit putting into
his answer to the complaint counter
claim to the same effect as that made by
the plaintiff. While he does not b ope
for judgment for nickel, he assume S
the aggressive to place the other side
partially upon the defensive. The Nor
mon leaders have no expectation of Sc
curing the admission of Utah. Their
object is to delude the Gentiles into di-
recting their efforts against q mythical
proposition, instead of consolidating their
enesgies and resources upon such legisla-
ton as was so nearly accom-
plished at the last session of
Congress. The loyalists OF Utah
will be foolish indeed, if they permit
themselves to be gulled by such 4 shall
low pretense. Let them not waste theil
ammunition upon decoy dummy. Let
them rather pre- pare for another agres
sive contest like that of the last session
and they can rest assured that the Nor
mon lobby will drop the Statehood racket
like red-hot horseshoe. 1t will find
plenty of employment, staving off legis-
lation without making even a pretense
of following up that which they do moi
expect to accomplish. The Mormons will
be well satisfied with no legislation what
ever for Utah. That is what they are
playing for, and the Statehood agitation
is part of their defensive programme.

BOULANGER'S SUCCESSOR

A few months ago General Boulanger,
as the Minister of War in France, was
the acknowledged idol of every French
mans heart, to-day they stand and see
him ordered with his troops to an out-oi-
the-way post with apparent Indifference.
Then Boulanger was everything; to-day
he is nothing. Had you told French
man three months ago that Boulanger
was to have downfall, he would have
laughed at you and left you with an earn
est prayer OF "Vice le Boulaager," but
to-day that same Frenchman sees that
same Boulanger practically banished,
and as yet there has been no demonstra-
ton against the change. 1t was generally
thought, and with good reason, too. that
the appointment of Boulanger's successor
would create a revolution, but General
Ferron has quietly assumed the COM
mand OF the army and all is smooth.
One reason for this is probably found
in the fact that Ferron knew how to cater
TO the tastes of the people. He had no
sooner taken the office than he increased
the army. The French love of the mill
toire Immediately softened the public
heart toward the new Minister, and he
already enjoys the confidence OF half the
Republic. Tact is a great thing, and
General Ferron has used his to an ad-
vantage, which has probably saved his
head. The French have come to ac-
knowledge a successor to Boulanger, and
while a few may still stay by him and
utter the old cry, the echo will always
come back "Le BOnlaager est mort"

THE ESKIMOS.

In the american Naturalist there is an
article by Mr. John Murdoch on what he
calls "some popular errors in regard to
the Eskimos." One of these popular
errors" is the notion that the Eskimos
pass the winter sin sort of Information,
in underground dens, living in enforced
idleness, and supporting life by stores Of
meat laid up in less inclement seasons. Z"
Mr.. Murdoch, who spent two winters at
Point Barrow, says this is a wholly
mistaken impression. In spite of the
extreme inclemency Of the climate, the
winter, he asserts, is passed by the Eski-
mos Sin one continued round of activity, )"
and he gives a very interesting descrip-
ton OF the manner in which they occupy
themselves. Another popular error" on
this subject is the idea that the Eskimos
always eat their food raw, and devoul
enormous quantities of blubber.
At Point Barrow, Mr.. Murdoch found
that food was habitually cooked, although
certain articles, like the "black skin" o
The whale, were usually eaten raw. TAX
ing into account the fact that the Eskimor
have no butter, cream, fat, bacon
olive oil, or lard, he doubts whether
much more fat is consumed by them thar
by civilized peoples.
At Point Barrow the fat of birds and
the reindeer was freely partaken of, but
comparatively little actual blubber either
of the seal or whale was eaten. "Seal ol
whale blubber was too valuable, for burn
ing in the lamps, oiling leather, and
many other purposes, especially for
trade -

THE NINE HORROR.

In Virginia City, Nevada, to-day tine
wives, brothers, sisters and friends of
dozen or more men are thrown into the
deepest grief by the great calamity in the
Gould Il Curry mine. The men were
working in the shaft few days ago, when
fearful fire broke out and began to burn
at maddening rate. The smoke and
fumes poured from the mouth of the
shaft in such volumes that it soon be-
came impossible to approach it. In the
mean time rescuing party sue
ceeded in getting out the bodies
of five of the men, who
in their attempt to escape had fallen VIC
TINS of asphyxia. Six men were still
left on the other side of the fire, in den
from which they dare not try to escape.
Their cries for help could be heard day
and night by their helpless friends
the surface, and their means waited out
by the black smoke sounded like prayers
for mercy from the internal regions. The
scene about the mouth Of the mine was
one that will never be forgotten by those
who witnessed it. Wives and mothers
In hellish tortures over the fate of their
husbands and sons rent the air with their
awful shrieks and rushed madly to and
iro IN their utter helplessness.
The fire first broke out on Friday night
oil last week and continued to rage until
Monday morning, when the smoke
ceased to come and the anxious watchers
concluded that the conhagration was
over. But with the ceasing of the smoke
came the last of the cries of the en-
tombed men, and while the former
brought temporary joy to many heart,
the latter told that there was no hope.
Digging has been going on from the first,
and it was thought that the shaft would
be reached yesterday, but latest accounts
say that the walls could not be pene-
trated before this morning By this time
the tomb has probably been reached, but
there can be no hopes that any of the
prisoners can be found alive. The best
their friends can hope for is to recover
their bodies and give them Christian
burial.

HYPoCRITEs kneel at all sacred altars
and it cannot be expected that the shrine
of the Goddess OF Liberty should be free
at all times from lip-seryice worshippers.
That is no reason, however, why sincere
and heartfelt devotion should not be
offered by true and faithful subjects of
the resplendent Deity. We would like
to see the color of the hair worn by the
Mormon pretender who could elbow US
away from Liberty's altar on the day of
National Independence. Such should be
the feeling of all Americans. who believe
in celebrating the natal day OF our Nation
in spirit worthy of the memory of its
illustrious founders.
